inally received my Samsung Chromebook 2 (11.6" version, jet black color) and have had a day to get it set up, mess around with it, and compare it to my Acer C720 Chromebook (2GB), as well as my previous experiences with the original Samsung Chromebook that was released back in 2012. My initial up front experience is that I am overall very satisfied with the improvements that Samsung has made! There are some areas I wish they improved, but overall for the price, this is an outstanding way to experience the Chrome OS. I'll touch on a few of my in-depth thoughts below, and I'll update this all in the future as I have more experience with the device. I'm going to focus more on the hardware and less on the operating system or software, since the OS will remain fairly consistent across all Chromebook devices and plenty of information already exists about Chrome OS online:
Design/Materials/Build Quality: As mentioned above, I went with the jet black version. This new Chromebook 2 features Samsungs "stitched leather" design to the outside of the top shell, similar to what you see if you have ever used their Galaxy Note 3. It stands out a lot more when you see it spread across a much larger device like this. I'm going to be honest, I think some people are going to find this slightly tacky looking/feeling (especially the fake stitching around the edges), but personally I am a much bigger fan of it than I thought. For a computing device in this price range, you cannot really expect them to be able to throw on a full aluminum/metal case like you might find on a MacBook Pro or a higher end Ultrabook laptop. You're going to get something that is plastic or a more cost effective material, and honestly, I kind of like the way that this faux-leather design makes it stand out from other devices. And the overall build quality of the Chromebook 2 feels much improved over the original. It doesn't have as much "flex" to it, and even though it is still almost entirely plastic-based, it certainly feels like a step up. Also, compared to my Acer C720 side by side, the Samsung CB2 feels significantly higher in quality.

Beware of screen resolution

Wow, terribly disappointed. Got a great deal on this for $99 on Black Friday sale 2018. Have a Acer Chromebook and wanted another to keep at the office. While the specs seemed pretty typical for my needs, however I forgot to check screen resolution. Man, this thing is pretty unusable...screen is grainy and text is disjointed. Doubled check the settings and set to best size for this type of screen but in a world of HD screens everywhere I had forgotten what it was like back in like 1995 when screen resolution was this poor. It is unusable and I will be returning it. Learned once again a $99 sale on a laptop probably means that it's worth only $99, that's the case in this situation. Don't buy...

It is solid not flimsy.Screen is pretty good.Battery life is about 10 hours and it barely gets warm.I was leary at first since it has 2gb memory but I've had 7plus tabs open and no lag.Really impressed and I got it for $99.99 with student discount.I bought it as I have windows updates, having to buy a security suite that needs updates and windows is so buggy and glitchy too.With this I bought a 128gb USB.It just works and is very responsive.I love that I can view adult material and not worry about catching anything really.I hope that isn't TMI but that is what I mainly use it for.

A Samsung Chromebook for $99? Sign me up! It's a nice little unit for a hundred bucks. Small and light, but a solid build. It runs on Chrome (obviously) so with not a lot of bloat to weigh it down it's ready to go seconds after powering on. Sign into your Google account and you're off to the races! Or, not.... the 2 GB RAM can make certain tasks a little cumbersome, especially streaming video. But, hey. It was only $99, right? You'll be thinking that a lot as you use this machine. 16GB isn't a lot of storage, but at least that's expandable.
A Chromebook is essentially a glorified Android tablet for enhanced use and multitasking. This one does the job okay.

Great basic laptop

If all you need to do is surf the web and use basic Microsoft office, this is a great inexpensive laptop for you. It’s lightweight, compact, and does the job well. However, it is unable to run full versions of Microsoft office, only the basic versions, so I was unable to use Microsoft Excel the way I needed to. If you need the full capabilities of any Microsoft Office program, I would get a different laptop. Otherwise, this is a great choice for the price.

I needed a cheap, reliable, laptop-like device to take with me to Europe. This fit the bill - light, small, easily portable. All my hotels had wifi so I was able to keep up with work, record the videos I needed to post, and construct docs. Only negative - the keyboard mouse stinks, and the cursor keeps jumping up a few rows when left unused for a few seconds. I constantly had to reposition it and make sure I was typing in the right place. A real pain!!!!

The HD space is limited, to simply be able to access the USB to be able to load boot programs such as Linux requires you to go into developer mode which sounds easy but isn't once you realize that buying a used Laptop still has the password that cant be removed even with a Powerwash which is the name used to erase everything "completely" but doesnt work on the root account for developer mode. this is great for basic access to the internet and downloading on external HD but it also doesnt support anything for windows or linux directly.

This is a great internet appliance, much like you'd use a blender or other appliance. It's simple to use:
-You can write documents in Google Drive
-Go online and stream video.
-Access Social Media
-It's like an Amazon Fire with a bigger screen and keyboard
-Great for business meetings
-Great for kids to do homework
For $99 (Black Friday deal), how can you go wrong. DON'T expect to use this for gaming and other high-end uses. Keep your regular computer for that stuff.

Best answer: When I bought this, I had an option to buy Office 365, which has Word.
However, if you have a Gmail account, you can use Google Drive, which has Google Docs, which is Google's equivalent to Word. I have been using Google Doc's for several years, and the documents you produce from there are 100% compatible with Microsoft Word.

Best answer: When I bought this, the sales-person said it can only use Office 365, which is the subscription version of Microsoft Office. However, if you set up a gmail account, you can use Google Drive, which has the equivalent of Word, Excel and Power Point. I've been using Google Drive (and Google Doc's before they changed the name), for years, and the file you make on Google Drive are 100% compatible with Microsoft Office
